Could you please detail the damage and the necessary upkeep?
The damage first manifested itself by a gradually increasing inability to walk normally, and constant shaking of his body. Doctors that treated him could find nothing other than his drug use to explain this.
Even after he stopped using, his mental state continued to grow progressively worse. He is plagued by panic attacks that have gotten so bad that he basically refuses to do anything other than eat. He will no longer get out of bed. If he has to urinate or defecate, the bed is where he does it. He will not bathe. His weight must be getting close to 500 lbs. He refuses any sort of psychological or physical therapy. Of course he is a diabetic, too, and except for taking insulin (that must remind him of the good old days when he injected speed), he won't do any of the other things that diabetics must do to stay healthy. It now appears that gangrene has begun on his feet, but he refuses to go to the doctor.
He has been on disability for a number of years. He will be going into a nursing home very soon. That will be entirely at the taxpayers expense.
Speed is such a cool drug.
